Root Nexus 7 2013 Running Android 4.4.4 Kit-Kat Official Image

Now that you have updated your Nexus 7 to Android 4.4.4 Kit-Kat, and after a successful reboot along with a lot of apps, you will notice something very important missing. Yes! I am talking about the Super SU app. Since you have updated your device to the Official firmware and according to the rule of updating or flashing the Official Image, your device is sure to loose the Root access as well as the Custom recovery installed on it, the best and most probably the only way to get it back is installing them again, most probably you can use ‘CF-Auto root’ to root the device along with the Custom Recovery installed in it, but the latest versions of CF-Auto root doesn’t have recovery ported in it, the best method left now is the old manual method where rooting is done by flashing the Super SU.zip file via the Custom recovery that we will be installed before.
